Red Magic 6 series has a crazy 165Hz AMOLED display and 120W fast charging

Nubia has just launched its gaming-oriented Red Magic 6 series in China. The new lineup is built in partnership with Tencent Games and boasts a head-turning design and mind-boggling specifications. Last year, Nubia was first out of the gate with a 144Hz refresh rate panel and the company is going even crazier this year with a 165Hz display on the Red Magic 6 series.

There are two devices in the lineup: the Red Magic 6 and Red Magic 6 Pro. Barring few differences such as battery and charging speeds, both phones are identical to each other in every respect. On the front, the Red Magic 6 has a 6.8-inch full HD+ display that refreshes at a whopping 165Hz with up to 500Hz touch sampling rate. We know ASUS was experimenting with a 160Hz refresh rate on the ROG 3 but it was hidden from the end-users. So this makes the Red Magic 6 the first smartphone in the market to go beyond the 144Hz ceiling.
